Eaquals have a webinar at 10:00 UK time tomorrow, 15th March with Elena Deleyto La Cruz & Thom Kiddle on Using authentic video in language teaching and learning – why, what and how? https://www.eaquals.org/eaquals-events/event/using-authentic-video-in-language-teaching-and-learning-why-what-and-how/ At risk of giving offence to Thom, I’m intrigued by Elena’s plan to ‘show how a very simple interactive learning structure can provide the means for autonomous video-based learning’.
